All money disappeared
 After a session this morning, closed out the game as usual. When i fired it back up, about half a million was gone from my bank and i had $16k left, with one night before The Grand. Is this a glitch,...
At the start of the previous session, i had around $300k. Bank hadn't been that low in probably10+ sessions. Hadn't touched the wheels or tires on any of the cars that glitched for probably 4 or 5 previous sessions but it was tires that got upgraded and also visually changed when i did. I didn't make any changes to wheels after in originally bought them (one of the first things i do to a vehicle). I'd usually play no more than 1 day and/or night shift per session. Never attempted The Grand, this was going to be my first time.
Think I figured out the what happened. After almost doing it again, i went to exit the game. The game/controller/lag/me pushing button too fast or whatever hung on "Go Online" instead of going down one more option to "Leave Game". You can still leave/exit while the system is transferring your info to Online, and if you do so, you will be left with whatever amount the money is at in the uploading process. Almost went from $1.8M down to $2,000 if i had not let the process finish transferring info. So, having "GO ONLINE" right above "LEAVE GAME" is a crappy place for that to be.
This happened to me as well. Wife hurried me to exit the game so we can watch a series and accidentally selected "Go Online". Then I could exit the game before the process finished. I think its a very dumb decision to let the user exit while the progression is not saved/transfered. I lost almost 300k that I grinded for a car...
